The Ford Barn - View Single Post - What year is this Pickup 40-47 ?

The 6-cylinder for Commercials was delayed in 1941 due to the frame still being from the 1940 design. They finally added the new front cross member that was redesigned to work with that frame mid year. This is why the production figures are low for the G-series pickups in 41. The OPs pickup is from the 1942 batch that would be the first of the jail bar type. Civilian production was halted early in 1942 so the figures are low for them too.

That list from Mac VPs site doesn't include the 9N series commercials.
